    • Few tweaks as the run order was completely messed up and the main point of your defence (reconstituted agreement) pushed to the bottom of the statement.   I, XXXXXX, being the Defendant in this case will state as follows; I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim and further to my set aside application dated 1 November 2022. 1.The claimants witness statement confirms that it mostly relies on hearsay evidence as confirmed by the drafts in person in the opening paragraph. It is my understanding they must serve notice to any hearsay evidence pursuant to CPR 33.2(1)(B) (notice of intention to rely on hearsay evidence) and Section 2 (1) (A) of the Civil Evidence Act. 2.  I understand that the claimant is an Assignee, a buyer of defunct or bad debts, which are bought on mass portfolios at a much reduced cost to the amount claimed and which the original creditors have already wrote off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimants witness statement exhibit by way of the Deed of Assignment. 3. As an assignee or creditor as defined in section 189 of the CCA this applies to this new requirement on assignment of rights.  This means that when an assignee purchases debts (or otherwise acquires rights under a credit agreement) it also acquires certain obligations to the borrower including the duty to comply with CCA requirements (such as the rules on statements and notices and other post-contractual information).  The assignee becomes the creditor under the agreement. This ensures that essential consumer protections under the CCA cannot be circumvented by assigning the debt to a third party. 4.  I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 5. The alleged letter of claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address.  I have attached a copy of my tenancy agreement which is marked ‘Appendix 1’ and shows I was residing at a difference address as of 11 December 2018 and was therefore not at the service address at the time the proceedings were served.  I have also attached an email from my solicitors to the Claimants solicitors dated 14 July 2022 which was sent to them requesting that they disclose the trace of evidence they utilised prior to issuing the proceedings against me.  This is marked ‘Appendix 2’. The claimants solicitors did not provide me with these documents. 6. Under The Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims 2017 a Debt Buyer must undertake all reasonable enquiries to ensure the correct address of a debtor, this can be as simple as a credit file search. The Claimant failed to carry out such basic checks. Subsequently all letters prior to and including ,The Pre action Protocol letter of claim dated 7 January 2020 and the claim form dated 14th February 2020 were all served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018. 7. Upon the discovery of the Judgement debt, I made immediate contact with the Court and the Claimant Solicitors, putting them on notice that I was making investigations in relation to the Judgement debt as it was not familiar to me.  I asked them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.   The correspondence to the Claimant Solicitor's is attached and marked ‘Appendix 3’ 8. On (insert date) I successfully made application to set a side the judgment. The claim proceeded to allocation, 9. The claimant failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis on the 2 February 2024 'The Claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents.' None of these documents were received by the court nor the defendant by that date. (insert date you did receive the documents) I then sent a Data Subject Access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided. Details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 4’and the copies of correspondence between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 5’. Remove irrelevant 10.The claimant relies upon and has exhibited a reconstituted version of the alleged agreement. It is again denied that I have ever entered into an agreement with Barclaycard on or around 2000.  It is admitted that I did hold other credit agreements with other creditors and as such should this be a debt that was assigned to Barclaycard from another brand therefore the reconstituted agreement disclosed is invalid being pre April 2007 and not legally enforceable pursuant to HHJ Judge Waksman in Carey v HSBC 2009 EWHC3417.  Details of this are attached and marked ‘Appendix 6’. The original credit agreement must be provided along with any reconstituted version on a modified credit agreement and must contain the names and address of debtor and creditor, agreement number and cancelation clause. 11. Therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to disclose a true executed legible agreement on which its claim relies upon and not mislead the court. 12. It is denied I have ever received a default Notice pursuant to sec 87(1) CCA1974.The claimant is put to strict proof to evidence from the original creditors internal document software the trigger of said notice.  13.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. 14. Until such time the claimant can comply and disclose a true executed copy of the original assigned agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim they are not entitled while the default continues, to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are true.  I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth.

    • As one of you mentioned above I've been in a mess for nearly 20 years now and I'm ready to sort my credit report out now - the main reason I got into second round of debt is my kids being unwell and the state considering them not unwell enough for extra help so despite my son being in hospital for 3 months in one year we got extra zero help and I eventually lost my job and got into debt to just so I can be تا my sons hospital bed at his time of need - my life basically fell apart and all these debts got me again 
    • Gosh mate I've woke up this morning with half the worry I had last night when going to sleep!.  I can't believe how much this forum has helped me over the years and I don't  have the words to explain the gratitude I feel towards you guys -  Now that I've slept on it I feel ready to reject this company and my plan is to make them an offer to accept payments to date as full and final settlement - I will I think write them a letter once my review is completed or maybe just send it now whilst they are reviewing explaining my kids are unwell for which reason I'm struggling to survive and if I can politely request for them to accept payment to date as a full and final - I'll mention I don't have any cash or anyone to borrow from to offer a full or even part amount of the remaining balance of the iva and therfore am unable to make a offer of payment.   If they agree to at least even put my offer to the creditors then I feel it's better I hang in there and that way I won't have to deal with any possibilities of more defaults and ccjs    Right now the only adverse effects on my credit report are the iva that is now 3 years old and 2 Ccj one coming of this July and one thus October.    But I am worried new action will begin and new defaults and Ccj may start to appear because I've paying into an agreement im under the impression the 6 year rules starts again so yes I have lost of mixed feelings about this but I'm not going to lie you guys have put some life back into my breath this week as for the last 3 years I've felt caged like an animal and this morning I feel freer I can't explain how much but certainly my soul feel lighter today thanks to yin because I'm now viewing this review totally different to I do yesterday thanks to you guys

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hi, not sure what to do now, they refused to deal with me via email even though the pcn said I could email them so they rejected my appeal, I have now recieved a letter saying ' NOTICE TO KEEPER, DO NOT IGNORE THIS LETTER' what do I do now? do I write back and appeal again? This notice is very unclear as to what I should do? It says if I was not the driver and wish to challenge this pcn, then I have to write to them... I was the driver so what now? totally lost.....

Hi I did post last month when i first recieved this pcn, it said I could email them and so I did, but they then said they couldn't deal with it via email and I had to provide them with my postal address, I emailed them again with my evidence and asked why they hadn't answered my email and they wrote back saying because I had failed to provide them with a postal adress they had automatically rejected my appeal, I have now recieved a letter saying ' NOTICE TO KEEPER, DO NOT ignorelink3.gif THIS LETTER' what do I do now? do I write back and appeal again? This notice is very unclear as to what I should do? It says if I was not the driver and wish to challenge this pcn, then I have to write to them... I was the driver so what now? totally lost..... it also states under the heading Declaration of owner/driver that If I was not the owner of the vehicle stated herein etc etc Well where is the section saying If I was the driver and owner? that section doesn't exist?

What should I do as it says I have 28 days to now pay £100....

They have obtained your details from the DVLA.

 

As this is addressed to you as the registered keeper, then you appeal as such.

 

I would simply state that as the registered keeper you are not liable for this charge.

No loss has occurred to the land owner.

Go into the details if you wish.

Demand the charge to be cancelled, or a validation code for the independent appeals service POPLA be issued.

State that the appeal has been sent with proof of postage.

remind us of the date your vehicle was parked at the hotel and whether you got a ticket slapped on the windscreen or was it a CCTV type number plate capture. What was the date of your first letter from the parking co adn when did you get a rejection of your appeal.

All of these dates are critical as the parking co has to follow very strictly timetabled procedures and it is something they frequently get wrong.

If they are nit members of the BPA it may be difficult getting an appeal looked at properly but there again they have no rights to pursue you as the keeper of the vehicle either, only the driver could create a liability and thet is for them to prove.

So, post up a timeline of what you have from them.

  • 3 weeks later...

ok, so they sent me a letter saying NOTICE TO KEEPER DO NOT IGNORE THIS LETTER. I responded by writing back to them telling them that as I had already appealed via email that was all they would get from me and either accept or reject and send me a popla code. Well today i recieved their response, They state that they responded to my emails asking for my address as they cannot consider my appeal without it, as I had failed to give them my address the appeal was rejected and due to that failure, no popla code will be supplied, they also state that as my appeal is outside of the timescale my letter of appeal is not being considered and no popla code given?

So what do i do now? I responded the first time via email within 14 days as per the pnc which said i could appeal via email, I responded via post within 14 days of recieving their NOTICE TO KEEPER after they obtained my address from dvla..... so what now? i'm lost? help..... please.

Personally I'd ignore them, you've done your bit. Let them take you to court, they (PPC's in general) lose 99% of anything that goes near a court, though they'll swear black was white to have you believe otherwise.

 

They probably won't bother though, there are plenty of people out there that just roll over and pay up (unfortunately), so they'd much rather go after the easy money.

 

 

You could complain to the BPA I suppose, but as they are a bit of a toothless tiger, it's really not worth the effort.

 

 

The usual chain of events....

 

1. Notice to Keeper.

2. Notice to Keeper. Reminder.

3. Notice to Keeper. Final Demand or we pass this to our Debt Recovery robots.

4. Debt recovery letter. Pay up, we've added more fees but pay us anyway.

5. Debt recovery letter. Pay up, we've added even more fees because we've had to write to you again. (by this stage it will be about £150)

6. Debt recovery letter. We've recommended to our clients that they start legal proceedings.

7. A new company get in touch, saying that they've bought the debt and making you an offer to settle the account for between £75 and £99 depending on what sort of mood they're in.

8. They give up.

Please note that my posts are my opinion only and should not be taken as any kind of legal advice.
In fact, they're probably just waffling and can be quite safely and completely ignored as you wish.

You could write one more letter to NPE stating that as they are not allowing the registered keeper access to the Independent Appeals Service POPLA , then you consider the matter closed.

No further correspondence will be entered into.

 

Or do as above.

 

Either way, expect some empty threats from debt collectors...

 

NPE don't do court.

Sorry but this is bad advise.

 

The Op must write to appeal the ticket, once the appeal is automatically denied, the Op goes to POPLA who will cancel the ticket.

 

Others in the past have either got a CCJ needlessly or had an up coming Court case mentally distracting them.

Please read around the forums.

If you read abobe the appeal was made and has already ben denied on the basis of not giving his address and POPLA code refused as out of time

 

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

To OP. you now may find this scary but on the basis of POPLA code refused and appeal refused you now have two options

 

1) Pay up for a quiet but poorer life

 

2) Wait for court papers and stick it to the b******s

 

Now if you hold onto your nerve. its likely that all you will just get loads of demand letters for a while. Ignore.

 

If they are silly enough to want to take you to court then with a proper solid defense ( members here will help) you should easy win.

 

I personal would fight, but only you can make that choice

Well, that's as good a reason as any to read the whole thread then my friend. I'd not normally give that advice to anyone else, although I do it myself, but in the circumstances of having appealed (more than once) and had it rejected, and then the company refusing to issue a HOOPLA code, the OP has only two choices. Ignore it and see what happens, or pay up. And I'd never recommend the latter.

Please note that my posts are my opinion only and should not be taken as any kind of legal advice.

the company have continually fialed to follow the protocols of the PoFA and the guidelines of their Trade Associations. they will get a real spanking if they went to court over this so you will probably be in line for a couple of threatograms from the likes of Debt Recovery Plus, the PPC's favourite debt collector. They are always worth a laugh and can be ignored.
